category menu

hi there,

i have bought the quick2cart and love it so far. But i wanted to know is there an option to turn off the menu for the categories so i can make my own in a module?

The reason i want to create my own is because i dont want all the categories to be shown if they dont have a product listed in each one, also i would like the menu to be located at the top of the pages and not down the side

hope you can help
